Kolby Allard

Kolby Allard is returning to the Cleveland Guardians on a minor league contract. The deal includes an invitation to major league spring training.

Fantasy Impact

A former first-round pick by the Braves in the 2015 MLB Draft, Allard enjoyed his best big league season with Cleveland last year. The veteran lefthander appeared in a career-high 33 games and pitched to a 2.63 ERA in 65 innings. Allard has pitched parts of eight seasons in the majors and is 13-26 with a 5.34 ERA in 337 innings. Even if he doesn't break camp with Cleveland as a low-leverage reliever, Allard will likely appear with the Guardians at some point in 2026.

Kolby Allard was outrighted to Triple-A Columbus by the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday and subsequently elected to become a free agent. Allard pitched primarily out of the bullpen for the Guardians in 2025, often working multiple innings.

Fantasy Impact

Allard was very effective in his role with Cleveland, maintaining a 2.63 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 65.0 frames, accompanied by a 42:14 K:BB ratio. He should find a new opportunity around the league this offseason.

Kolby Allard allowed one hit while striking out five over 3.1 scoreless innings in Wednesday's victory against the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

After today’s performance, Allard holds a 2.62 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with a 2-1 record across 22 appearances this season.

Guardians left-hander Kolby Allard is the probable starter for Wednesday's series finale against the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Allard has been on and off the Guardians' roster this month but is scheduled to start Wednesday's rubber match against the MLB-worst Rockies. The lefty has posted a quality 2.83 ERA in 21 outings (one start) for the Guardians this season but his 4.97 xFIP and 4.75 SIERA suggest regression could very well be on its way.

The Guardians selected the contract of Kolby Allard.

Fantasy Impact

Allard remained with Cleveland after he was designated for assignment earlier in July. He'll hold a middle relief role in the Guardians bullpen.
